Orebank, TN population, income and ZIP codes

Orebank CDP is a very small community in Tennessee, with 777 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #330 of 504 ranked by population — larger than 34% of them. The median age here is 38.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Orebank CDP earn a median of $67,207 a year, 14.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% above the $55,988 median for the 307 Tennessee cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 14.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Orebank CDP is valued at $171,300, 43.5% below the national figure and 10% below the $191,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $829 a month, 41% below the national figure, or roughly $9,948 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 64.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 777 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Orebank CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
